Fun Moments
She is the most adorable and expressive little girl!!!
We are in the BIG bath tub now... Our little duck tub is too small. :(
Of course, we had to graduate to the big tub after the day in the mud. We had so much fun!!!
We were out picking wild flowers. She ate this one.

Fun Hair Day
Isabelle kept taking out my hair band the other day, so I just put it in her hair. She didn't like it at first, but right when I got the camera out, she started posing. Such a cutie!!
Playing with the cat. Got my baseball and mommy's gardening glove. What else is there??
Great Grammy
At the end of June we had a wonderful visitor come and stay with us for a few weeks to get her baby fix. Great Grammy cam up from So. California!! Isabelle and she had a marvelous time playing and getting to know one another.
Dinner with a toast; new tradition to have a girls weekend once a year and it MUST have some sort of natural water feature to view.
The next morning we had a beautiful view of the waterfall during break
fast.
This baby alpaca was only one hour old. Isabelle and Grammy loved seeing the new baby at the neighbor's farm.
Isabelle loves her books!! She kept bringing them to Grammy to read them to her.
While Grammy was with us, we also took a 3 generation girls weekend trip to the Salish lodge in Snoqualmie next to the falls.

Our room... well... not the best. There were some issues. Probably the biggest one was that though there was balcony that we could go out on and enjoy... it over looked the parking lot and worse yet, it was directly over the dumpsters. I mean you could step over the raling and with a tiny hop, be on top of the dumpster. A smaller issuse was that they gave us a fridge key. Unfortunately, we couldn't use it: we had no fridge in the room.
Now the funny thing about this room was the view from the window, but looking in... See that window by the chair. It opens right into the bathroom.

Under Construction!
No pics here, just the notice that some will come.
First, the back yard is a turned over pile of dirt for as far as the eye can see... hopefully no wind will come, if it does we will be in a major dust bowl. We are having a neighbor come over and help using his tractor tilling machine dig up, turn the soil, dig some more... eventually level all the soil and then roll it out to flatten it. After all is said and done with that, we are going to seed the back and have a grass back yard instead of a dandilion backyard.
Second, 2 of the 3 flower gardens are done... one more to go.. the rose garden. This one is taking its sweet time to get ready. Of course with the other two gardens, I am hoping they don't get eatten like my strawberries.
Third, there is a hole in the living room where a wall used to be. More specifically... we took out the wall where the fireplace was (took it to the dump--you can't believe what a huge monster that thing was), and opened up the corner. That is all so far. We still need to finish a platform and get the walls covered in dry wall before the middle of Aug. That is when the installers come out with our new wood burning stove. Now we will be warm and cozy this winter if we loose power for days on end. :)
Forth, is a bathroom remodel. Currently it is in working order, but kinda in a torn up condition.
Anything else? Probably... but this is the current big stuff.
More to follow. . .

Pool Time
Our first trip to a real pool. Isabelle LOVED it... it was like a gigantic bath tub that she could splash in and better yet, walk in. She went under many times, and had a hard time getting back up. Good thing she had on her life jacket. The lesson learned for mommy ... make sure she always either has something on her feet when she goes in a pool (socks, shoes, whatever). Her feet were all cut up by the rough floor of the pool. Poor sweet baby.
My first swim suit.
This was a fun afternoon. Grammy was here and we met with Kristy, Sophia, Vicki and Karen for lunch and swimming.

See all those beautiful strawberry plants... Well, sadly they are no more... last night elk or deer or something ate them all, leaving the roots only of a couple of the plants. Gotta find a way to protect them before planting new ones.
See my Flower!
